I recently switched from lollipop (slim 5.0) to marshmallow (slimm 1.1).
I noticed that the mobile network signal is not as good as it used to be. What software related things determine the signal strength and can they be tweaked?
I assume all basebands are functional and that the broadcasted signal has not magically reduced I strenght at the exact same time as I upgraded.

I'm interested to hear how you folks are finding your phone's signal strength and reliability, what radio version do you have and are there any issues with it?
I have Baseband 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M and I sometimes lose the O2 signal in my home.
Edit: I should have posted this in Q & A ... doh!
I'm running baseband version 20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M and I can get -83 dBm at best on my home's wi-fi network.
I installed this version last week after having problems connecting to any wi-fi signal with 20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M
Until now I haven't had any problems this week and it's running fine.
Thanks for your reply. How was your gsm signal before and after the recent radio flash, have you noticed any difference?
In the current establishment I'm in, my best signal is -89dBm on a UMTS (3G network). Unfortunately I don't remember my signal strength on a mobile network before I flashed my new radio. I can recall however that it was quite slow...
What Mod/Android version are you running? It's important to have a radio that matches the proper rom in order for it to work properly.
I have a new IS without root etc, the unit received an OTA update the day I got it. The current software No is 2.30.405.1. My only gripe is the phone signal here, but having said that, it doesn't seem as troublesome today. Also my battery life (today at least) appears to be improving with time and use.
That's good to hear that your signal is getting better! Coverage in your area may be a factor as well.
This XDA thread has a list of IS radios matched to certain RUUs. Based on the versions you mentioned previously, your radio matches your RUU version. I was kind of banking on the fact that they didn't match up, in which case we could of probably solved the problem.
What kind of signal strength do you usually get?
Keep us posted if your signal improves or not and we'll see what we can do if need be!
Well I'm sad to say that I've just returned my 3rd HTC IS, all 3 had signal issues for me on the O2 network. I loved the build quality, style and the Sense interface .... what to do now?
I know that Cricket is part of the AT&T network but im having problems with my unlocked international version of the s6 (SM-G920i) . Yesterday i installed the sim card But i have low signal strength (2 bars) on the Network mode.LTE/WCDMA/GSM. this is the only mode that gives me 4g and it drains battery really fast; last night it drained about 20% of battery without any activity. WCDMA/GSM mode gives me a high signal strength But my internet is H+ instead of 4g.
how do i fix it?
is there something im doing wrong?
Hi,
My K3 Note's signal strength is very weak.
Me and my colleague both have the same network provider, he has a different mobile and i have K3 Note.
When i compare the signal strength randomly anytime, there is a huge difference like -66dbm(his) and -103dbm(mine).
Due to this i often feel call drops and most of the time my internet does not work, even at the places where other people are talking on mobiles, i do not have a signal in mine.
Does is it have a solution?
How it can be fixed?
Currently I am on Jio 4g roaming in other state. I am facing signal issues. There are frequent drops in signal while it is present on other phones at the same time. Any solutions?
All z1s have this problem. This phone isn't good for remote areas/ the areas with weak signals.
And its jio's poor service too
So nothing can be done?
Yes
I had poor signal and stability with the Samsung 5123 modem in the Pixel 6, and the updates never solved my issues with mobile network standby using about 30% of battery charge. I anticipated significant improvement with the Samsung 5300g modem. I've only tested my sim briefly, finding signal strength is virtually the same. Does anyone know whether signal strength would be expected to be unchanged, and it is only the stability that is supposed to have improved?

no there is definitely an improvement...My data is much more stable now, in spot where it ussually lag, and 5G is much stronger, less drop to LTE.

Definitely a change from my p6p, my p7 just works now, no signal drops and seems to be stronger, reliable now, I still have my p6p, so later I might run a few tests to check strength and speed
